Post of Shame

hey chica, one question ... did you have fun?

surely does beat my unexpected $50 expenditure for spilling a blueberry smoothie on my very light carpet!! hey, if you're gonna have unexpected expenditures, at least have some fun.

now ... i'm eagerly waiting to hear how you're gonna pay for it;-).

No shame, S'kat. Just a little birthday splurge! Sounds fun.

Ha ha, I've had a few of those lately too! Better than the other kind, which I'm proud to have left behind in my 20's. I hope you had a wonderful time with your sister, I'm sure you'll find a way to cover it. I keep a slush fund for just these kinds of weekends, it helps to cover the bill when we go a bit crazy. Don't worry, it happens to everyone. As long as it is the occassional weekend, it's OK.

I can't wait to find out how you are going to come up with the money. I have sordid ideas in mind, but I bet it is going to be something even more evil, like using a credit card or something. ;oD

Beats my weekend, which involves having a cancelled flight and then having to rent a one-way rental car for a cool $400. Then having to pay another $300 to keep the car for two more days. (Original cost of renting car, had my flight not been cancelled: $119.)

As for you: all bets are off when siblings are in town. :)I spare no expense with the little bro.

Somehow I picture the fires of hell roaring as you get ready to tell how you shamefully plan on making up for your spending binge! LOL. Glad you had a good time. :)
